Ok, apparently everything I read about this in the past was either sophistry or just pure bull---t. I've been reading through the thread about Stars' switch to WC from dealt:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...012-a-1145272/
and the Stars rep claims that the switch doesnt change the amount of VPP's being rewarded per hand, just that it only changes how the VPP's are dispersed.
Are VPP's essentially rakeback? They are leading the reader to believe that the same amount of rewards will still be given back per dollar of rake, but everyone in the thread seems to think its just a money grab for the site.
What I dont understand is how this is saves the site money, if they are still giving the same rakeback%, just calculating it more accurately per player.
Can anyone post a link to an accurate description of these differences? I've looked around a bit but cant seem to find anything that details how this results in less money being paid out by the site.
[edit]
Just found this article by pokeraddict, hopefully it can answer my question.
